Parma Violets

How is there even a market for these sweets!? I've never met anybody who likes them enough to buy them over another type of sweet. They taste like soap or something. Amazingly undelicious!! :eek:



Anybody in here like them???

Heyes

Think they are normal part of those party packs, there nasty though, dont know why they dont bin them. They have been around for YEARS though, so who knows...

They're usually the bits left behind after those party bags. I like the ones that are the same shape&in a same packet but are fruit flavoured.

Faith

Ugh, they taste like chalk.

I have to say, they're one of the only sweets that I just can't get my head around it being possible that some people like them. I used to think that about turkish delight and liquorice when I was younger but I can imagine now how some people could like them...but parma violets

I dont really like them, but I do eat them. I think its the texture, I love that crunchiness! But yeah, whoever unleashed them on the world should be banged to rights.

Yep, they taste like perfume or something.

I do know someone who likes them though. I got one of those retro sweet jars a few years and this person ate all the leftover parma violets :eek:

I love them! Every Halloween I used to collect loads and loads of packets because nobody else liked them

Totally agree, they always end up in the bin. I saw a large pack of them in a shop once, I don't know who the hell buys them!!

They're the first things I go for, after the pink refreshers :cool:

+1, love these!

Love them too! and fudge bars....

Wow I completely forgot about them - what a blast from the past! They were a staple of party bags, trick or treat bags or multi packs when I was a kid. I agree they are rank, but I probably ate them anyway. A sweet is a sweet as far as I was concerned and you took what you could get back then :P

My mother LOVES them, our local shop was stockin them recently and i reckon she was the only one buying them in there. I dont like them at all, tastes like perfume or flowers yuk!!

Old lady perfume flavoured chalk - gross!

I doubt you'd want to take a fudge-bar from star-pants :pac:

Parma violets were always weird. Flower flavoured sweets
